The house was well equipped, comfortable and had a very homely feel. The views were unbelievable and the location was perfect to unwind. Details such as the games in the cupboard was such a thoughtful touch - as was additional firewood for emergencies! House was very warm and cosy. The pub was fantastic and great to walk to for dinner. We didn’t want to leave and would love a trip back!
